Picked up a Smoot today, I'll get it back together after cleaning and post some pictures and a brief history.

Okay if you can get outside another beautiful sunset.

Going to do some woodburning. It has been months since I have touched this TruArt kit.

Pattern is printed on plain white paper. I rub pencil on the back. Tape into position on the wood. Then go over the outline with a pen. The pressure from the pen transfers the pencil to the wood. I keep the printout nearby as reference. Wood is a piece of select pine from B2V.


This kit is the cat's meow in terms of wood burning. Over $200, but worth every penny. Heats up and cools down fast. Two handles so you can easily switch between two different tips without a waiting period to swap tips.



Before you use a tip for the first time, you must anneal it. Here are some I've used before.

Morning, Mr Bone. Good to hear from you. I was close to Iowa last week. Freeport and Sterling, IL.

...a bit more than a stone's throw - but still very closeby.

Hope the weather was good for ya.

It got rough here locally.

10" dump then another 6"-8"

I blew snow yet again today...quite the storm

Purposely did irregular shading to fill in the lettering, to give it character. I might do some staining or something before I spray poly over it.

Nope. No joke.

Kudos to you!

‘Merica!!

"Now, He's gonna caucus..."

"...both of us..?!!"


I remember the joke about the 2 young girls that were getting there picture taken...it was their first time.

As the photographer gets underneath the large black cover to take the first photo on that older camera - the older sister says

"Now, he's gonna focus...."

and the little sister says "...Boeff of us..?!!"

It reduces the hardness to make the tip more workable. So it doesn't become brittle and break off. A broken tip would be a very bad thing. It could damage the wood and ruin the experience entirely.

Nobody got the joke...

Busy day today. I’m finally home and catching up. I was up in Rochester for work today. On my way back I saw that the interchange at 31 and 47 is finally completed. So I took 47 home and stopped by Target Sports in Sheridan. That’s a great little store and some top notch guys that work there. I also stopped at Wilson’s farm market and picked up some of their beloved pretzel bread for the kiddos. Got home in time to eat real fast and head out for our first Special Olympics game of the season. We were down 15 at the half but fought our way up to a tie with 10 seconds left and one of our athletes won it with a buzzer beater! What a way to start the season!

Morning folks! ️

3 more cameras came in this week. The first is a 1st Gen Canon F-1. The other two are Canon A-1s for repair. The first A-1 is beautiful and looks like it spent its entire life in a display case. There is not even a hint of use. But, it has electrical gremlins that need sorted and (hopefully) fixed. The second was bought for parts. It is rough, and the two parts I need were cheaper to source with a whole camera than individually.

The problem is that the second A-1 looks to be working just fine. It needs cleaned, lubed, and a new battery door, and if I replace the top cover with a spare that I have, it could be nice. So, I may need to source the two needed parts after all. Or, use the really nice but inop camera for parts.
